Sans
Subway Sans is a contemporary revival of the New York City Transit Authority’s iconic dot-matrix signage—reimagined as a fully featured digital type family for print, web, and UI. Drawing on the precise, modular grid of the original LED screens, Subway Sans balances rigorous geometry with subtle human-like nuance, so that every headline feels simultaneously engineered and alive.
Special thanks to David Villouta for the support on the early stage of this type design project.
